<p>University of the Witwatersrand is an urban, comprehensive university. Wits, as it is affectionately called, is located in Johannesburg which is the largest metropolitan area and the thriving industrial and commercial hub of southern Africa. As one of the largest English-medium universities in the region, Wits has built up an enviable national and international reputation as one of the leading research universities in Africa. It has more than 18,000 students, both undergraduate and postgraduate, and a longstanding commitment to non-discrimination: broadening access to the university for students from traditionally disadvantaged communities. Not surprisingly, therefore, the campus has a lively and progressive atmosphere.</p>
